Much love my good sir. From across the pond, in Hershey PA. Just a trot to Boswell. Found you from a review you did of cupcake some years ago. Enjoyed the following videos very much. Best of luck comrade. Have a great day my good sir. 🙏👍

Yes indeed, they smoke well, I have one too and they smoke so great.😊

Lester me ol mate. I love working with Fae. I’m going to do her a shout out next week. She’s really nice to work with. That’s my birth year 1977. Excellent dunhill. Made me teary eyed watching and seeing you again my dear friend Mike

Thank you for all of the friendship, laughs, knowledge, fun, and joy. You've cheered me up on many occasion. See you on the other side my friend 👋🙏🏼💛

Enjoy your content

Just watched your last video.....I totally teared up!!! I'm going to miss your videos. I wish you well my friend.....cheers!

There‘s great channel and videos about making The Prisoner series from directors, actors, stunts, music, dressers….insights how it was complex…and…McGoohan‘s mind at that time….a lesson….how to make a cult series….but….a lot of stress, work and distress on the way…. youtube.com/@pmg6portmeirion?si=kh3RW1rk1TSH6-sH

John was a treasure to the YTPC thanks for honoring his memory.He will always be with us in some way.

I just found you last week, and then found out because of health issues you ended you channel content. I'm so sorry to hear that. I really appreciated how you presented your material like a gentleman. May the LORD help you in your sickness, draw near, and be real to you - and even be pleased to heal you!

Many thanks to Mr. Lester for repeatedly helping the Ukrainian army in the form of tobacco products for pipes. Our Warriors are sincerely grateful to you for your help, only with joint efforts we bring Victory closer. Велика подяка пану Лестеру за неодноразову допомогу Українському війську у вигляді виробів із тютюну для люльок. Наші Воїни щиро вдячні вам за допомогу, тільки спільними зусилями ми наближаємо Перемогу.

Thanks for making this video, Lester. I'm thinking about buying this exact pipe model. It seems like Barling does an excellent job highlighting the briar's grain.

I smoke Grainger whilst feeding the birds. Cheers from The South Carolina Lowcountry

Just going through some older videos. Beautiful countryside, nice and peaceful area. Have a wonderful day.

I really enjoy the Platinum. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry (U.S.)

What a brilliant video, had to rewatch it just now, one of your best. Hope you are doing well.

My dear friend, I have loved your videos since the start of the pandemic. Your videos gave me joy and camaraderie during a time of isolation. I have continued to enjoy your videos and you have become someone that I cherish very much as a wonderful person. Will miss you terribly, my friend. I wish you all the very best and I will never forget you 💨💨💨

Thank you for supporting Ukraine, Sir I am from Biełaruś, unfortunately fully occupied right now... But without free Ukraine, cannot be deoccupied Biełaruś. By the way if you know Ukrainian language, you can 99% understand Biełarusian. This is reason why Russia try to murder Biełarusian language in Biełaruś and Ukrainian in Ukraine. By the russification and murdering Biełarusian ethic culture I understand Russian language and can listen what to tell Russians. Sir, it is most useless skill of my whole life. Sound of door creak is more useful information. And I surprised why you haven't bots in comments there. Russia pours lot of money for international propaganda, about "Ukrainian Nazis" and something about

No Gigi in your collection?

👍 we miss ya

had to take a look back at my buddy. you have so many, i could watch one a week and not feel like you went anywhere. hope you are well.

Lester, I don't know if you saw this but it is a tribute for you. It is in he first part of my presentation, "It's a pipe community". Ed

Hello, my dear friend! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! Like 91👍. Very nice! Have a great day!

You have a wonderful pipe collection. Please let us know if you ever wish to part with a few.

Was the tank hard to get out of the case? I have a similar Scripto and I’m having trouble taking it out and wondering if it’s even supposed to be removable. Thanks!

Lester, i have the same pipe and love it. Its one of my best smokers. Love the Peterson calabashes.

Hope you are doing well me young mate! How long do you find you can keep boswell tobaccos in the tin.

Understand your decision... However please consider to continue to be active in the community, I for on will miss your presence. Are you permitted to continue to drink Burbon, that's a great topic that could be contributed to the community. There are quite a few in the community that enjoy bourbon. In any event all the best.

Enjoyed this, again. Hoping is going well.

My dear friend Lester - this is a lovely pipe from Mastro de Paja! They do make beautiful looking and quality pipes! But it pales in comparison to you - the man we’ve grown to love! You were one of the first pipe folks I started to watch and were then also one of the first to welcome me into the YTPC - I truly appreciate that. You are in my prayers and you will be missed. Until we see you again - cheers to you me ol’ Mate! Take care of yourself.

They are both nice, but the grain and finish of the Mr. Brog is STUNNING!

Beautiful collection

Well...popped into the comments to add a quip about my small collection (I think like 7 or 9 in the quiver) Fact: MDP was my first "real" pipe (author.) Not long after that down the pipe chamber I went. Couldn't help but notice all these other goodbye comments so I stopped thus vid and went to the Tardis departure vid. 🤔🤔🤔... Well mon ami if you are not yanking our pipe cleaners I wish you a great recovery.. fair winds and flowing seas..may the God of all the Universe's and Gazillion Galaxies forever be by your side. Sorry to hear about your health (just learning of it now - YT not keeping up with notifications hardly any more) On that note I will jar to mind Dr. Carl Gustav Jung who was eventually told he had to stop smoking (after a mild heart attack) Jung listened to his Dr begrudgingly but made note of Dr's orders. Upon his next visit Dr. Carl Jung showed up to his medical appointment with a fine pipe in his mouth (I presume it was one of his Falcons) and his Dr was aggasspped/livid and began to scold him! After the tirade Dr. Jung pulled the pipe from his lips and calmly replied "You said I must stop smoking. So I stopped smoking." It was then he handed over his pipe to his Dr. "You see? It's empty." "But this pipe is an extention of me and it will never leave my side." (It reminded him of his father who showed him how to smoke his first pipe). Course Dr. Jung went on to finish off more lectures and write other books...I'm not certain where the Black and Red book fall into the time line here but both are a sight to behold. Beyond fascinating! All said my dear friend Lester if you never post another vid...I thank you for the many chuckles and high spirited quips only you could offer the YTPC. Thank you for all the AMAZING VICARIOUS VISTAS! And thank you for all the work you put into your vids...always informative always something new to learn. Until the next one (eventually that Tardis will need a new battery) take care mon ami and cheers 'me 'ol mate. Be well 👋🙂 🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺

An extremely late comment I know but I saw the thumbnail and had to watch to say what a stunning pipe that is 😍 your candle comment just made me think “ handles for forks”🤣🤣🤣

Hello Lester, i’m sorry for only just commenting but i’m only just getting back into the swing of youtube post surgery. I know comments are turned off for a reason but I couldn’t say nothing as I just watched your last video with great sadness and yet with a smile at your fantastic exit video😊 sending positive thoughts and hugs from the UK 👍 take care.

Hi Lester. Not sure you'll be reviewing any of these older videos......just watching/ rewatching some myself. We all thinking and praying for better days for you and therefor us!! Cheers

Lester my friend, I watched your last video, prayers going up for you and your wife. You are a pillar of this community. I wish for you all the best, take care me ole mate

I just drop Denicool crystals in the place where the filter is supposed to go! Works great!

Hey Lester. So sorry to see you leaving. You definitely kept pipe smoking entertaining with a wealth of knowledge. Take care!

The hardest working man in pipe videos could be the hardest working man in "just saying Hi" videos.

Dear Lester,Thanks for the exceptionally good video on this pipemaker, I learned a lot and may buy one following it. You are very knowledgeable and it’s clear that the pipe hobby is something you enjoy immensely and giving it up I think will make you sad and be a huge loss to you. Health always comes first but bear in mind Drs don’t differentiate between types of smoking and studies are done on cigarette smoking which is seriously detrimental to health. I cannot see how smoking say 1 pipe a week of low nicotine tobacco could cause any systemic harm, and it would let you continue to enjoy your hobby and give you happiness. Best wishes Peter

Hi lester So sorry your leaving KZfaq I really enjoy your videos hope your health issues get quickly resolved and mabe you change your mind and come back even if it’s not pipe related still love just to hear you having a chat Take care my friend Terry

Detailed oriented, thanks!

Your last video hurt me deeply. I'm so sorry to see you go. I will miss your knowledge, wisdom and entertainment. I will pray for a full recovery for you. God bless you and your lovely wife.

Just saw your goodbye video. You're going to be greatly missed. If you can never pick up the pipe again, so be it, but like others have been saying, any content you upload will still be watched by many, including myself. I've always enjoyed your videos about Sherlock Holmes and older movies. Take care brother, and God bless.

Happy trails my old mate. You will be missed. Praying for you and for good health. So long my friend

Beautiful pipes. Beautiful man.

Sorry you are leaving us. Please visit us from time to time and comment. You are the reason I bought a Hardcastle I just found out. You influenced PiperX1X which inspired TruckinPiperBob who influenced Gary Oldandintheway which influenced me. So it goes back to you. Prayers for you.

Lester - so very sad to see you go. So enjoyed you and your content. Please check in once in a while - you don’t need a pipe in your video for us to enjoy your friendship. You are a gentle soul. I will miss you. Be well. John

Hola my dear friend Lester, referring to your last message, which really moved me, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the strength and positive attitude you need towards life. Only optimism and looking ahead keeps us going. I had to realize this again in the last 1 1/2 years when, thank God, I had to successfully fight an illness that wanted to tear me away from the circle of my loved ones. Stay strong. I'm thinking of you and wish you and yours only the best. Dear friend Michael from the 🌞🏝 🎩🤝🏻🎩.

Thanks for sharing Lester.
